Tail wheel tow dolly

Postby fastj22 » Sun Apr 30, 2017 8:34 pm

So we got a big spring blizzard this weekend and I had some time. I live at an airpark and its more convenient to tow the plane to the runway and since the taxi ways are gravel, better for my prop. I came up with this solution. Its a garden wagon from Amazon for $60. Cut a hole for the tail wheel to fall into, some scrap aluminum to box it in. A simple chain to keep it down. Tow it behind the lawn mower.
